How To Choose A
Without Really Trying
The following guide to easy
college-choosing should be
helpful to all those suffering
seniors who are now spending all
their moments wading through
reamf of college applications and
slowly losing their patience with
it all.
Step 1 - Wait until the last
minute (it's more exciting that
way.)
Step 2 Decide what general
area of the country you prefer (
for example, as far away from
parents as possible or near
skiing.)
Step 3 Decide whether you
would prefer an all-male school
(if you are female) or an
all-female school (if you are
male) or a co-educational school
(if you can't decide.)
Step 4 Decide what courses
you want to take in college (ie -auto
mechanics and shop or
physics and chemistry.)
Step 5 Talk to your
friendly guidance counselor and
get throughly confused.
Step 6 Send out letters
requesting information from
colleges.
Step 7 Spend another
session with your friendly
guidance counselor deciphering
the information you receive.
Step 8 - Evaluate all
information collected in Steps
1-7 and make decisions.
Step 9 Abandon decision
made in Step 8 and settle on
SOC because parents can't
afford anything else.
Step 10 Discover all this

wasn't necessary since you won't
even be graduating this year!
Moral: If selecting the right
college really is important to
you, ignore the above advice and
make a very careful choice with
the help of your parents,
counselor, and some deep
thought on your part. And start
thinking about it early, or you
won't have any choice!

Thoughts On Christmas
Pirkko Virtanen, our AFS
student from Finland, watches
the approach of Christmas here
in the United States, her
thoughts probably also lie in
past Finnish Christmases.
Christmas for Pirkko in
Finland is not very much unlike
that in the United States
although it is more traditional
and includes the famous Finnish
Bath, a very important part of
Christmas.
Even though Christmas
preparations begin earlier, most
of the activities take place on
Christmas Eve. The Christmas
dinner is prepared, which will
consist of dried codfish, soaked
two weeks ahead of time in a lye
solution, herring, ham, patatoe
cassarole, salad, rice pudding,
white and rye bread, and dried
cakes. Drinks will be coffee and
homemade, non alcholic beer.
Also on Christmas Eve, the
Finns go to the sauna or Finnish

The month of December is a
season of cheer and happiness in
anticipation for Christmas day.
The spirit of receiving often
overshadows the joy of giving.
With this point in mind the
Rogue News took an interest in
the thoughts of many students
on the world situation.
We asked the following
students this question: If you
had one wish for Christmas, but
the stipulation on it was that it
had to be for the good of
mankind and the world, what
would you wish?
Sophomore, Jan Davies:
My wish for mandkind would
be to appreciate the little things
in life and not take for granted
your many possessions. It has
been said, "Only when we are
truly grateful for what we have
are we fit to receive."
Sophomore, Gary Doris:
I would wish it would go on
exactly as it is because to wish
for anything is avoiding reality.
The world has and always will
have all kinds of people and
Bath. The steam bath not only
provides a means of cleansing
but also provides mental
relaxation and enjoyment. A
very important part of the life of
the Finns, the sauna is even
more so on Christmas.

their problems. To wish for
anything different would be
foolishness.
Junior, Cathy Riffe:
A solution to all world
problems that would bring love,
happiness and peace into each
person's life.
Junior, Rhonda Demo:
If I had such a wish, I would
wish for peace, because this in
turn would benefit the world in
several ways. There would be no
wars or arguments. This most
likely would mean that the
people of the world would be
happy and content. Because
they wouldn't be spending their
time and money on wars, they
could then devote a greater
amount of time on improving
the world by working and
learning together.
Junior, Debbie Morgan:
My wish would be that
everyone could recognize and
solve their problems. If problems
could be solved people would be

who lives in the north of Finland
in Korvatunturi will make
individual stops to every family.
He will pass out the presents and
the family will sing to him and
have refreshments with him.
Late Christmas Eve mayors of
towns declare a Christmas Peace.
Then early Christmas morning
the Finns attend mass at church.
After Christmas, New Years is
celebrated with fireworks and
followed by "bull weeks," where
everyone "works like a bull" to
pay for Christmas.

happier and be able to live
easier. If people had the ability
to recognize their problems the
solutions would come easier, and
the solutions would have more
and better results.
Junior, Joel Massey:
I would wish that we could
have a good president. A
president that could get us out
of Viet Nam. A president more
interested in spending money on
problems at home instead of
giving away money to
unappreciative nations.
Junior, Bruce Lorber:
I wish that the war in Viet
Nam would come to an end. I
feel as though we should start
the bombing again to win a
victory militarily instead cf
wasting all this time at the
negotiations tables while
American lives are being lost.
Senior, Kris Keil:
My wish would be that
everyone in the world could
have the opportunity to eat
three full, nourishing meals
every day.
Senior, Jim Kreisman:
The only hope or wish any
sane man can make is the wish
for total lasting peace. As men
have done since the beginning of
time, I would wish for: peace
throughout the world, that all
men would be free of fear and
hatred of other men, that all
countries would unite rather
than compete, for man to
unselfishly desire to help his
fellow man regardless of race,
religion, or political beliefs, to
have love-all important
love-which would not lead to
violent posse ssiveness. These
alone can save mankind from
self destruction. Although they
may seem lik many wishes,
they are, in reality, one. The
wish most desperatiely needed in
the world today peace.
Senior, Steve Van Dewalker:
That all men be granted
wisdom because the beginning of
wisdom is the fear of Clod.
